Blanton's Straight From The Barrel 2023-Barrel #281

Nose: sweet tabacco, leather, caramel, sweet red apple, and vanilla. Taste: creaammyyy vanilla, leather, brown sugar, baking spice, very sweet tabacco, and that same crisp red apple right on the end. Its very mouth numbing which adds to the creaminess of the vanilla. Still has the amazing sweetness of normal Blanton’s but at cask strength which makes it 10x better. Extremly long finish (quite the journey). Honestly hard to explain how good this is. Soooo sweet, So delicious. Gotta be the best I’ve had. Bonus points (as if it needed any): cleanest and crispiest pop I’ve heard yet.

Nose: sweet, cherry, white chocolate, candied strawberry Body: Wet, sweet with a bite. Light red fruit. rich mouthfeel. dessert cherries. strawberry shortcake. this is honestly just right in all areas. Choice sipping. You wouldnt get this experience often. Good finish. Long. fruity notes continue. Makes up for all of base blantons shortcomings. The amazing flavor of the original with a proof that finally matches and lingers respectably

The only blantons worth producing
